Drivers must obey posted regulatory signs and traffic signals (e.g. Stop sign, yield sign, red light, no turn sign, etc.).

At a stop sign, drivers must stop, yield to pedestrians, yield to other drivers who arrived at the intersection's limit-lines before them, and then proceed.

At a red traffic light, drivers must:

  • Come to a complete stop
  • Yield to pedestrians
  • Yield to other drivers who:
  • Have a green light
  • Have arrived at the intersection's limit lines before them
  • Proceed once they have given ample time to check they are safe to continue

At a railway level-crossing, drivers and pedestrians must stop behind the bar-gate while the barrier is lowered and the red-warning lights are flashing; traversing beyond or around the lowered barrier is prohibited. Drivers and pedestrians may proceed when the gate is raised and the flashing lights are off. At level-crossings without barriers and lights, drivers and pedestrians shall yield if a train is proceeding towards them.

During an unprotected right turn, drivers must yield to pedestrians.

During an unprotected left turn, drivers must yield to oncoming traffic as well as pedestrians.

Drivers must yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks. Drivers may not proceed through the crosswalk until the crosswalk is vacated OR until all pedestrians have crossed to the opposite lanes of travel AND are not walking towards the driver's path.
